I think most people who know me usually don't have bad things to say about me...or at least I hope.  I am glad it's that way.  I would hat to be one of those people who people like to their face but as soon as they are out or sight they can't wait to put them down.  I am proud to be a person that many people trust and have faith in.  I just wish I could have as much faith in myself as others do.  Sometimes it's really hard though.  I make mistakes just like every other human on Earth but I am glad to say that most of mine or small.  I am strong enough to live in the time I live in and not be some drug addict ( hell i won't even try most drugs ), or some teenage whore with no self respect or a theif who steals just to fill whatever void they have or someone who lies to everyone including themselves.  I don't pity myself too much.  I try not to judge poeple.  I just try to be a good person.  Sometimes I don't do a very good job...I'm flawed, so what.  I am just glad I have become something my parents can be proud of.  Not many kids can say that these days and I am just glad I can.  I think this world is a crazy place but The Dave Matthews Band  said it best in The Christmas Song from their Live in Chicago CD...Father up above, why in all this hatred to you fill me up with love, love, love, love?  For some reason the days are unbearably long but the years fly by.  I am conflicted...I don't know if I want to be done or don't want it to end.
